Neil,,, France.. since you are such a good Secretary of State,, I am sending

Remember: we take over, and then it is time for L'Amour.

Louis? What's he got to do with this.

Actually, what's he got to do with anything??

French women do have a smoking problem though..

But you agree that they ARE smokin'. Good.

And they absolutely hate Americans.

I didn't find that. Possibly because I wore a shirt made entirely
from a giant maple leaf and spoke like a radical Quebecois
secessionist, but that's neither here nor there....

We may need to trick them.

The French? That's almost redundant, no?

We will tell them we are from New Jersey. Women all over the world feel
sorry for anyone from New Jersey.

Oh, yeah. Historically, claiming to be from Jersey has REALLY gotten
people laid.

Good plan ;-)

It is the old Trojan Horse trick.

I'm stuck on that word "Trojan."

No matter. I'll work it out....

What if all the intelligence (ours, Russian, British, French, Israeli, UN)
had been correct?

If my grandma had balls, she might have been my grandpa.

BTW, Sanchez supposedly had no credibility after Abu Grahib. Suddenly now
he does?

What happened to Johnny Sunset?

So you approve of off-topic political stuff being posted to the wreck
cycling groups? Even by someone who once admonished someone for posting a
RIDE REPORT?!?http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b..._frm/thread/47...

Bill "just trying to keep all the bullies and hypocrites* straight" S.

So far, the count of People Who Give A **** has reached ... exactly
one.

Odd, I have not kill-filed anyone, yet I am only seeing Sorni's posts
when quoted.

Such evidence is another example of the miracle of Jesus!

It's interesting that while you claim to dislike OT posts, about 3/4
of the replies in this thread are from you.

Ahem. THAT'S THE POINT.

It is?

Periodically Jobst will post (without even having
the consideration to denote it "OT") blatantly political blogspit, and NO
ONE DARES SAY A WORD. So my response is (has been) to post a whole bunch of
political links as replies.

I say "has been" because I'm fed up with his hypocrisy

Don't worry. Yours is far more compelling and endearing.

(flaming others for
OT posts like RIDE REPORTS) and cowardice (refusal to answer simple, direct
questions like "what has this to do with cycling?") and have plonked him.

In the future, if no one replies to his political posts (as was mostly the
case with these recent few), I won't even see them and so won't respond with
opposing links.

BTW, if a conservative repeatedly posted political material (introduced as
new threads) I'd ask him or her to knock it off, too. JB does this on a
fairly regular basis, and no one seems to care. I guess it's just typical
"free speech...for liberals only".

no, it's OFF TOPIC. PLONK.
